🛠️ Wirespan, a daily power grid optimization puzzle I made for my son
Summary
Wirespan is a daily power grid optimization puzzle where players connect a power plant to houses on a 9x9 map. Built around graph theory and Steiner-tree principles, players balance Chebyshev distance and Euclidean space to find the shortest route.
Why it’s interesting
It was originally created as a game for the developer's autistic son who is deeply interested in how the power grid works.
